+== Flashing ==
+When the build has completed successfully, a set of scripts and binary files for installing from USB can be found in a directory called "Target" in "<rdk_dir>/build-dtvkit-whitelabel-dtv/tmp/deploy/images/dtvkit-whitelabel-dtv/MTKIMG/usb_update". The whole "Target" directory needs to be copied to a FAT, FAT32 or vfat formatted USB memory stick that has at least 1GB of free space. Copy the "Target" directory to this device such that "Target" is in the top-level directory. The device must also be writeable when the image is installed.
+Now proceed with the following steps:
+  * Connect the serial adapter to the STB as shown here:
+{{ :whitelabel_serial.jpg?direct&200 |}}
+  * Use a serial communication program to connect to the serial and use the following settings: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no hardware flow control.
+  * Power on the STB and within the first 3 seconds press any key (e.g. spacebar) to interrupt the boot process. You should now be at the a command prompt showing: “//MT5221#//”
+  * Insert the USB stick into either of the 2 USB ports on the side of the STB.
+    * If the USB stick is inserted into the USB towards the front of the STB, enter //usb start 2// at the command prompt.
+    * If the USB stick is inserted into the USB towards the rear of the STB, enter //usb start 0// at the command prompt.
+    * Completion of either of the above commands should result in “1 Storage Device(s) found” being shown on the console.
+  * To start the update, enter //udstar// at the command prompt.
+  * The update will take less than 2 minutes after which the box will boot into the newly installed image.
